Cristiano Ronaldo is urging the Manchester United team to support Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and not down tools during the ongoing crisis at the club.
Solskjaer is under huge pressure following the shocking 5-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday evening.
After that defeat, reports have claimed several players are questioning whether the Norwegian is the right man to lead the club with concerns over his tactical acumen.

United have complied a four-man list of possible replacements topped by Antonio Conte but Solskjaer seems set to remain in charge for Saturday’s game with Tottenham.
And ahead of that match, the Manchester Evening News claims Ronaldo is attempting to rally the squad.
The report says Ronaldo has already urged his teammates not to down tools and to continue backing the manager regardless of what they think of his tactics until a decision is made.
A number of decisions are believed to have left members of the United team confused since the start of the campaign.
Some were said to be shocked by the decision not to hand more game time to Jesse Lingard, who has impressed in his few appearances so far this season.
Donny van de Beek also is said to have impressed teammates in training but yet remains firmly on the periphery of the squad with only five minutes of game time in the Premier League this season.
